Abstract:

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables computation over
encrypted data and is considered a fundamental tool for privacy-preserving systems.
Despite significant theoretical progress, its practical adoption remains limited. One
contributing factor is the absence of reusable, application-level components suitable
for integration into real-world systems.
This work introduces a library of FHE components developed through a competition-
based framework. The components are outcomes of a series of formalized challenges
published on the FHERMA platform, each targeting a specific challenge—such
as comparison, sorting, or matrix operations—under concrete cryptographic and
performance constraints.
This initial release includes contributions from independent researchers and reflects
a variety of approaches across different FHE schemes. The library is intended to
expand over time as new challenges are introduced and solved, forming a foundation
for building and evaluating privacy-preserving applications.
